Summary

This study indicates that TG is not likely to be a toxic lipid species directly, but rather it is a feature of physiologic hypertrophy and may serve a cytoprotective role in lipid overload states and induction of DGAT1 could be beneficial in the setting of excess heart accumulation of toxic lipids.
